 NEW YORK – PAETEC Holding Corp. (NASDAQ GS: PAET), a nationwide provider of comprehensive communications solutions, today announced the launch of an expanded portfolio of cloud-based products and the planned deployment of new data centers coast-to-coast. The move comes on the heels of a national study that says the majority of U.S. data centers are running out of space.
As part of its overall cloud and data center strategy and leveraging its breadth and depth of experience in the cloud and data center space, PAETEC plans to add 13 data centers coast-to-coast by the end of 2012 to its current set of seven centers which will result in the company operating 20 centers nationwide.
“With the advent of high-speed networks and continued migration of network intelligence into the cloud, the need for these network-based services has increased dramatically and we see that trend continuing into the future,” said Arunas Chesonis, chairman and CEO of PAETEC.
ETEC currently has data centers in Andover, Mass., Bethlehem and Conshohocken, Pa., Richmond, Va., Milwaukee, Wis., Houston, Tex., and Phoenix, Ariz.
In 2011, the company has plans to expand to McLean, Va., Tampa, Fla., Columbus, Ohio, Detroit, Mich., and Charlotte, N.C. In 2012, data centers are also planned for Dallas, Tex., Chicago, Ill., Northern California, Rochester, N.Y., Pittsburgh, Pa., Denver, Co., Atlanta, Ga. and a location in the Pacific Northwest.

 SAN DIEGO–Want to live a longer life? Move to Salt Lake City, the DC-Balitmore area, Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, San Francisco, or Austin. On the other hand, Knoxville and Nashville, TN, Greensboro/Winston-Salem, and Tampa and Jacksonville, FL, may make you old before your time. So says and new report by RealAge.
Southeast and western cities are among the top ten on RealAge’s list of the “youngest” cities in America—metropolitan areas with such healthy lifestyles that on average their residents are physically at least two years younger than their chronological age, and many are years younger than that. RealAge analyzed data from the largest 50 metropolitan areas to compile the rankings.
A passion for fitness and a loathing for smoking are key factors in Salt Lake City’s number one ranking. At the other extreme, residents of Knoxville, Greensboro/Winston-Salem, and Nashville are aging faster than they should. (Get an infographic of the 10 youngest and oldest cities here.)
What are the 10 metro areas where you have the best odds of staying young?
1. Salt Lake City, Utah
2. San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, Calif.
3. Austin, Texas
4. Denver, Colo.
5. Boston, Mass.
6. Washington, DC/Baltimore, Md.
7. San Diego, Calif.
8. Raleigh-Durham/Chapel Hill, N.C.
9. Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn.
10. Seattle/Tacoma/Bremerton, Wash.
Which metro areas are likely to make you old before your time?
1. Knoxville, Tenn.
2. Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point, N.C.
3. Nashville, Tenn.
4. Saginaw/Bay City/Midland, Mich.
5. Cincinnati, Ohio
6. Tampa/St. Petersburg, Fla.
7. Oklahoma City, Okla.
8. Las Vegas, Nev.
9. Jacksonville, Fla.
10. Tulsa, Okla.
“Each city’s ranking is more than just a number,” says Keith Roach, MD, Chief Medical Officer of RealAge and a co-creator of its test. “It’s a unique assessment of the healthy lifestyles, or lack of them, in each metro area—of how people live there, what they’re doing right and what they need to change. If you live in one of the 10 oldest cities, take this as the alarm on your body’s aging clock going off! It’s never too late for a fresh start.”
Note that half of the 10 youngest cities are in the Western U.S., from Denver to Seattle.
“Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s the mountains, but Western cities have adopted active lifestyles that can slow down the aging process,” says Dr. Roach.
Behind the Rankings
To compile the rankings, RealAge analyzed data for America’s 50 largest metropolitan areas generated by its landmark online assessment, the RealAge Test, taken by over 27 million people. This is the first time the company has analyzed aggregated results on a city-by-city basis.
A random sample of 1,000 RealAge members was drawn from each city. The sample data was adjusted for age differences, so a metropolitan area that’s a magnet for retirees wasn’t penalized, and a city jammed with university students didn’t benefit.
The Test uses a powerful algorithm that combines the latest scientific studies with lifestyle, genetics, and medical history to calculate your RealAge—how old your body thinks you are.
What Makes a City Younger or Older
While multiple lifestyle factors are involved, here are four big ones that help people in Boston (the 5th youngest city), for example, stay younger and healthier than those in Cincinnati (the 5th oldest):
| |
|
|
| 1. |
|
Getting the right amount of sleep. Six of the 10 youngest cities are among those with stellar sleep habits. And (surprise) New York isn’t the city that never sleeps—the Big Apple ranks second in ZZZ’s; Austin is first. Sleeping six to nine hours a night can make your RealAge as much as 3 years younger. |
| 2. |
|
Stubbing out cigarettes for good. Four of the five fastest-aging cities have the highest percentage of smokers. |
| 3. |
|
Not sitting around. Six of the 10 youngest cities are among the most physically active in the country. A daily 30-minute walk can make your RealAge up to 3.5 years younger. |
| 4. |
|
Controlling your blood pressure. Five of the 10 fastest-aging cities—Knoxville, Cincinnati, Oklahoma City, Jacksonville, and Tulsa—are among the worst for high blood pressure. Nothing ages you faster. Who has the lowest BP? Residents of Minneapolis-St. Paul, the 9th youngest city. |

- Atlantans print out more savings coupons and seek them out on mobile devices more than those in other cities.
Attention, shoppers: Atlanta residents are saving more money than you are. Or at least, they’re printing out more money-saving coupons, according to the “Most Frugal Cities” list compiled by Coupons.com. Tampa, Florida came in second on the list, while Charlotte, NC was six and Raleigh ten, and Nashville, TN, landed at seven.
Atlanta also heads the list of cities where people use mobile devices to tap coupon deals.
We think this information is likely interesting to the social deals companies, such as Groupon and LivingSocial, as well as to Internet and digital marketers in general. It also points to where people are looking for deals online and where the use of mobile devices to aid shopping is trending.
It’s interesting that the South and Midwest dominate these lists, while the Northeast and far West cities show up much further down.
Atlanta tops for second year
For the second year in a row, Atlanta took the top spot on the ‘Most Frugal U.S. Cities’ list, according to the 2010 Savings Index released today by Coupons.com, a California-based Web destination for coupons and savings. On average, regular users of Coupons.com in Atlanta printed more than $1000.00 dollars in coupon savings from the site in 2010. That is almost twice as much as during 2009, when they printed $531 in savings.
Tampa cashed in with coupons and maintained its position as the city with the second most savings. On average, regular users of Coupons.com in Tampa printed $863 in savings.
The South is a mega-saver: more than one-third of the top 20 frugal cities are in the Southern region of the United States. In addition to Atlanta and Tampa, other Southland cities on the list include Charlotte (#6), Nashville (#7), Raleigh (#10), Oklahoma City (#13), Miami (#13) and Dallas (#14).
Once again, Ohio is the country’s most frugal state. The Buckeye state is represented three times on the ‘Most Frugal U.S. Cities’ list – Cincinnati (#3), Cleveland (#8) and Columbus (#19).
North Carolina is Ohio’s biggest challenger, climbing the penny-pinching ladder with two cities in the top 10: Charlotte and Raleigh.
For the first time it was raining green in the Pacific Northwest as Seattle (#18) joined the list. Seattle is the only city on the West Coast that made the cut.
Nationwide, more than $1.2 billion in savings was printed or saved to loyalty cards from Coupons.com and the Coupons.com network during 2009.
The Top 20 couponing cities are below.

Table 1: Top 20 Frugal U.S. Cities
Most On-the-Go Frugal U.S. Cities
Super-savers are tapping into savings via mobile apps for their cell phones, including Coupons.com’s Grocery iQ and the Coupons.com mobile apps.
When it comes to saving on-the-go, the citizens of Atlanta have the most frugal fingertips, based on use of the Coupons.com apps according to the Index, which is reflected in the city’s top position on the Most On-the-Go Frugal Cities list in Table 2. The rest of the South is also smart when it comes to cellular savings. In fact, the South is home to 10 cities represented on the top 20 cities using mobile apps to access, browse, print and save coupons.
“More and more, people are taking advantage of coupons using mobile devices,” comments Pavini. “People are not just clicking for coupons from their computer, they are accessing them on-the-go and even at the supermarket.”
Some cities have a higher propensity to access coupons via mobile phones. For instance, savers in Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Las Vegas and Philadelphia are quick to look to their mobile device to maximize savings and advance on the On-the-Go list relative to their position on the ‘Most Frugal U.S. Cities’ list.
While they’re on the couponing wagon, Minneapolis, Cleveland and Seattle missed the mobile train: these cities ranked high on ‘Most Frugal U.S. Cities’ list, but each moved down several pegs on the On-the-Go list.

 TAMPA, FL – Romark Laboratories, a company developing drugs for infectious diseases and cancer, has raised $23.11 million from a mixed securities offering of $35 million, according to a regulatory filing.
In May 2010, the company disclosed positive results from its STEALTH C-3 clinical trial, a phase 2 clinical study of nitazoxanide in treatment-naïve patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C. Nitazoxanide, the first of a new class of broad spectrum antiviral drugs.
At that time, Emmet B. Keeffe, Chief Medical Officer of Romark Laboratories, said, “The trend in therapy of chronic hepatitis C has been toward individualized therapy with combinations of antiviral drugs. There is a need for a new class of safe drugs with novel mechanism that can be used in combination with current standard therapy or with other new classes of drugs to improve treatment outcomes. We believe nitazoxanide can play an important role in these combinations.”
The company raised $15 million in 2010. In 2007 the company raised $18 in million institutional financing with the D.E. Shaw Group. Investors include Westshore Capital Partners.

 TAMPA, FL – The National Institutes of Health has awarded a three-year, $2.6-million grant to the University of South Florida and Tampa-based biotechnology company Saneron-CCEL Therapeutics Inc., to establish dosing and safety guidelines for transplanting human umbilical cord blood cells (HUBC) into animal models of Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers hope to use the pre-clinical data to gain U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to carry out clinical trials with patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
“Our immediate goal is to move our beneficial findings with cord blood cells into clinical trials for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease,” said the grant’s principal investigator Dr. Jun Tan, a USF neuroscientist and professor of psychiatry.
The NIH Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer grant is based on the success of an ongoing research partnership between USF and Saneron aimed at determining the therapeutic benefits HUBCs offer when transplanted into animal models of a variety of neurological diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and stroke.
“Our next stage of research is translational. This study’s primary aims are the completion of preclinical safety and validation studies and the submission of an Investigational New Drug application to the FDA for a Phase I clinical trial,” said Nicole Kuzmin-Nichols, president and chief operating officer of Saneron.
Additional funding will be provided by a Florida High Tech Corridor Industry Matching Grant through USF Connect.
Previous research by USF and Saneron has shown that injecting HUBC into laboratory (in vitro) and animal models (in vivo) of neurodegenerative diseases does not promote a strong immune response, so rejection is not a problem, said Dr. Tan, who is a consultant for Saneron. The potential for HUBCs to promote an anti-inflammatory response may provide overall benefits. Inflammation is a biochemical component of Alzheimer’s disease.
Saneron worked with USF to develop a HUBC cell technology platform called the U-CORD-CELL program. The program aims to improve the quality of life for patients by developing and producing innovative, high-quality treatments for neurological and cardiac diseases.
“This grant will afford Saneron the opportunity to bring the U-CORD-CELL™ technology to the clinic in the pursuit of a potential therapy for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease,” Kuzmin-Nichols said.

 TAMPA, FL – Perrsystent Technology Corp., a company that sells an automated PC recovery system, has raised $2.83 million in a mixed securities offering, according to a regulatory filing.
The company raised $2.86 million in December last year from three investors.
The company disclosed the funding in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It raised $11.6 million in 2008 led by ABS Ventures of Boston, and Valhalla Partners of Virginia, with participation from existing investors.
The company raised a $5.7 million B round in 2005, led by Valhalla. Other investors in the company include Inflexion Partners, Tall Oaks Capital, and Village Ventures.
In an interview with Maddux Media, Persystent’s Chief Marketing Officer, Mary Maloney, said the 25-employee company recently added the U.S. Postal Service as a customer nationally and had the best third quarter in its history.
The company sells its SOLO product for users of 1-25 PCs. Other products are aimed at larger business users.
The company says its products make it much easier for IT departments to recover quickly from disasters and proactively control PC damage on or off a network, even if the PC’s operating system cannot engage.
Persystent’s software automatically repairs and restores an infected or corrupted PC’s operating system and software applications, on or off the network, while also ensuring enforcement of corporate configuration policies.
It says that by simply rebooting the system, either automatically or on demand, Persystent returns the PC to its desired, clean recovery point.
Persystent’s solution captures a high speed image of a company PC’s ideal state, including only company approved settings and applications. It then creates a hidden partition on the target PCs and compresses those files, which no one can access.
The company says its solution relieves IT departments of a majority of their systems support tasks by eliminating “configuration creep” and other hidden issues that impact user and desktop productivity.
Some clients have told the company Persystent’s technology has reduced their support calls from 50 to 85 percent.
Customers have included The Department of Defense, PacCoast Builders, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the City of Orlando, the U.S. Army and the Pentagon.
